The 22-city tour, produced by Live Nation, kicks off on Thursday, September 29 in Seattle, WA with special guests Miguel and AlunaGeorge. Sia plays Orlando’s Amway Center on Sunday, October 30.

The unprecedented trek will bring her powerhouse vocals across the continent, offering fans a chance to experience elements from her critically-acclaimed Coachella performances which were heralded as “one of the greatest moments in Coachella’s 17-year history” by Yahoo! Music. “Her set was freakin’ legendary…will blow your mind,” stated Buzzfeed and Time Magazine anointed her performance as “one of the festival’s best.”

Sia released her new album, “This Is Acting,” (Monkey Puzzle Records/RCA Records) earlier this year to much critical acclaim. The New Yorker described it as “the Platonic ideal of a modern pop album,” with rave reviews across the board from The New York Times, Rolling Stone, Entertainment Weekly, The Fader, and many more. The album debuted at number four on the Billboard 200 Chart, peaked at number one on the ITunes chart in over 50 countries, and charted Top 10 in eight countries worldwide, including number one in her native Australia and number three in the UK. Currently, Sia’s single, “Cheap Thrills,” is Top Five on Spotify globally and is number one on Shazam’s Global Chart for three consecutive weeks.

Grammy Award-winning recording artist, producer and songwriter Miguel first hit the mainstream in 2010 with his infectious first single, “All I Want Is You,” and “Sure Thing,” which hit number one on Billboard’s Hip-Hop/R&B chart. His critically-acclaimed, four-time Grammy Award-nominated sophomore album “Kaleidoscope Dream,” featured the intoxicating, “How Many Drinks?,” as well as his third U.S. number one hit single, “Adorn,” which garnered Miguel his first Grammy Award for Best R&B Song and resided at number one on the R&B/Hip-Hip Airplay chart for more than 23 weeks, becoming the longest-running number one in the history of the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hip Airplay chart. Miguel’s critically-acclaimed third studio album, “Wildheart,” released in 2015, claimed the number one spot on Billboard’s R&B Albums chart for the second time and debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 Album Chart. The album was recently nominated for a Grammy Award in the Best Urban Contemporary Album category, and its lead single, “Coffee,” was nominated in the Best R&B Song category.

AlunaGeorge, which is singer/lyricist Aluna Francis and producer George Reid, have barely stopped since they released their 2012 single, “You Know You Like It,” followed by their critically-lauded debut album, “Body Music” in 2013. Last year, DJ Snake’s remix, “You Know You Like It,” became one of the most streamed songs of all time crossing double-platinum in sales with over 85 million YouTube views. The London duo is confirmed to perform at a number of festivals this season including Lollapalooza, HARD Summer, Glastonbury and more. Earlier this year, they released the first single, “I’m In Control,” featuring Jamaican dancehall artist Popcaan, from the band’s forthcoming sophomore studio album titled, “I Remember,” to be released this fall via Interscope Records.

The announcement follows Nicky Jam’s incredible year of achievements that include the worldwide success of his number one hits, “Travesuras” and “El Perdón” (featuring Enrique Iglesias). “El Perdón” was awarded the 2015 Latin Grammy for Best Urban Performance and he also received a number of 2016 Premios Lo Nuestro nominations including, “Collaboration of the Year,” “Urban Artist of the Year,” “Urban Album of the Year” and “Urban Song of the Year.”

“I’m very excited and grateful at this moment in my life with all my fans and all the new emotions I’ve been able to enjoy with my whole team,” said Nicky Jam.

The tour also includes Valentino, Plan B and Cosculluela, who will be performing full sets.

Throughout the show, fans will enjoy varying seasonal changes through sets designed to create rain, snow, outstanding scenery and stunning lighting effects.

The lights perfectly synchronized with magnificent scenes projected on giant video screens give each song a dramatic and unique setting.

Nitro Circus founder, ringleader and world-class athlete, Travis Pastrana announced today that Nitro Circus Live(NCL) is returning to North America with a 2015 U.S. tour, visiting 14 cities.

“We are so stoked to bring the biggest, most daring action sports production ever staged back home where Nitro Circus all started years ago,” says Pastrana. “Our insane group of athletes perform stunts that you literally cannot see anywhere else on the planet. We’re constantly pushing each other to break records and do things that people previously thought were physically impossible. We had an epic time in the U.S. earlier this year and we were pumped on just how many people came out to see us. Now we’re ready to show a whole bunch of new cities what we’re all about.”

Fans can expect spectacular, fully choreographed motocross stunts and outrageous feats on an array of contraptions – trikes, snow skis, a bath tub on wheels, tandem bikes, razor scooters, shopping carts and even a Barbie car, all launched with precision and skill off the one-of-a-kind, 50-foot high Nitro Gigant-A-Ramp.

“We are thrilled to be able to join pop icons NKTOB and Nelly on tour. We are equally excited to be back on the road connecting with our fans in such huge arenas,” said TLC.

David Caran joins us to share his experience at Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Present Circus Xtreme at the Amway Center.

Once again it was time for the Greatest Show on Earth to come back to the Amway Center.I remember see Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus when I was a kid, and I always love reconnecting with that part of my childhood.Although many elements remind me of the circuses I used to go to, this is was not the same.

Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey definitely brought it to a new level with their Circus Xtreme.With updated technology and special effects they have taken many classic circus acts and reinvented them for the next generations.

It was hard to narrow down my favorite part, but it has to be the high flying acts.The skill and precision needed to perform on a high wire or trapeze amazes me today every bit as much as they did when I was eight.

It’s hard not to get excited going to the circus with the exotic animals, the crazy clowns, the amazing acrobats, and who doesn’t love someone getting shot out of a cannon.

The Circus Xtreme show runs about 2 hours with a 15 minute intermission, and the flow of the show is very good.They do a great job of adding spectacle, great production value, and fun in-between acts which helps hold the interest of the younger viewers.

And if all that fails, you can always get a snow cone or a variety of souvenirs that are sold outside.I know that always takes care of my little one.

One piece of advice that I can give to parents is that there are often protestors outside the circus who are very vocal about their feeling of the circus.They are generally peaceful, but carry signs depicting the abuse of animals and are very vocal about their protest of the circus.It is something that you should be aware of in case you need to explain things to your children as you make your way to the venue.

Overall there is not a much more perfect family experience than going to the circus.It’s exciting, it’s fun, and it’s always full of surprises.Definitely check out the new Circus Xtreme from Ringling Brothers the next time the come through your town.It will definitely be a great experience for young and old alike.

John currently has two albums entering the Billboard Hot 100, his latest studio album, “The Diving Board,” and features 12 new songs written by John and his longtime lyricist, Bernie Taupin. The album returns John to the piano, bass and drums lineup that marked the artist’s introduction to worldwide audiences more than 40 years ago. As he explains, “I’m incredibly excited about every aspect of this album: the performances, T Bone Burnett’s production, Bernie’s lyrics and the songs we’ve created. “The Diving Board” is the album I’ve been waiting to make for decades.”

“The Diving Board” and the 40th Anniversary re-release of “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road,” are available on EltonJohn.com and at record outlets everywhere, including Amazon.com and iTunes.

John is winner of six Grammy Awards, five BRIT (British Record Industry Trust) awards and is one of the top-selling solo artists of all time, with 35 gold and 25 platinum albums, 29 consecutive Top 40 hits, and has sold more than 250 million records worldwide.

Since his career began in 1969, he has played almost 3,000 concerts across the globe.
